Destined to be a best seller this summer season; the achingly beautiful Firewire Timbertek Evo surfboard.

We've received an absolute avalanche of emails over the last 6 months enquiring if and when we would be stocking the Timbertek Evo...we'll its here and definitely been worth the wait.

The latest board from Tomo pushes surfboard design again. Having it under your arm puts a huge smile on your face, the anticipation of surfing it is almost too much! We had a chance to have a quick surf on a 5' 5" and although smaller than you'd choose here's what happened: even at this small length it paddled really easily, even in choppy conditions the nose didn't catch. The sheer width of the thing meant it paddled in nice and easy and felt fast, popping up the board feels super stable but very lively. It flows from rail to rail so easily its unreal, Tomo says it feels like its levitating, he's not wrong! Its super smooth and turns easily, an instant smile guaranteed. The smoothy curvy outline really works, it still feels like it'll hold in bigger stuff but for anything knee to head its going to be the surfboard of choice. The deep channels give it its drive, presumably what Tomo refers to as the 'double inside single concave into split quad concave planing hull' means the channels. Even Slater said it felt faster than a standard board after that short interlude at the Gold Coast comp.

Firewire is pushing the limits of applying new technology and innovation to surfboard design and always has an eye on the environmental impact of what they do, they truly are different to the other board companies out there. Firewire have come a long way since the early boards and the range of shapes and tech just gets better and better. A big chunk of the boards in the range are perfectly suited to the waves that 90% of us surf on a regular basis so if you haven't already give them a try.

A startlingly quick and stable board.Ideal for the average waves that we get in North Devon. Easy to catch waves on . There have been no issues with duck diving and late drops which one might have anticipated. I surf it as a twin fin with rear stabiliser and enjoy the enhanced drifty feel from the hull. I have yet to put it fully on rail but I think this has been due to lack of opportunity so far rather than the board's design.

My only negative comment is that the rear 3 future fin boxes have been planed down so that the grub screw hole is so close to the fin box that it has a fine crack which may or may not deteriorate further and cause problems.
To help others size their board choice I am a reasonably fit 54 year old at 13.5 stone and 5'10".40 years of shortboarding under my belt with deteriorating ability.

Just bought the EVO 5'4 TT for kitesurfing (6'1 for 84Kg). In small surf conditions with 17/22knts offshore wind great feeling, easy to turn, jibes are shorts when pushing on back foot. Caught a few nice waves, the "take off" is smooth and gives time to set feet properly (toe side for kiters!). off the lips are not radical as the volume is important.
Tried in 12m2 kite with 12/18 knots and 3-4 feet waves: awesome, this is where evo is probably the best i surfed so far (Vader 5'5 and Naish Global 6').
I will probably put additional pads (thick and smooooooth) as the board is very rigid and my legs are stiff after 2h kiting.
Th unknown now, how long with the board last? Reviews and tests are unconsistant on this point and firewire is not clear (FST for kite sure but TT seems OK)... some say great, some spread out doubt... I'll post another Evo comment in the next few months (and hope not before!!).
Boardshop has been reactive, serious and VERY Well PACKED. Price is good.

Ordered the 6' Tomo TT Evo after much deliberation. The board arrived the next day and looks awesome. Ian at the Boardshop provided me with some great advice regarding fins and a bag for the board. He really knows his stuff. It's been flat here on the east coast of Scotland for weeks but am heading for the north coast and the Outer Hebrides next month to put the board through its paces. Can't wait to get it in the water.
